CULTIVATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 764,062, dated July 5, 1904. Application filed January 25,1904:- Serial No. 190,432. (No HIOdGL) To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN M. W. LONG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hamilton, Butler county, Ohio, (post-ofiice address, No. 631 High street, Hamilton, Ohio,) have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cultivators, (Case 13,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention, pertaining to improvements in cultivators, will be readily understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved cultivator; Fig. 2, a plan of the rear portion of the same, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of the swivel-head.

In the drawings, 1 indicates the beam of the cultivator; 2, one of the stub-axles of the usual arch, through the medium of which the tongue is connected with a pair of the cultivators; 3. the usual handle attached to the beam; 4, the vertical pivot uniting the forward end of the beam with the axle; 5, the clevis; 6, a swiveling head disposed fore and aft under the rear portion of the beam; 7, a vertical pivot uniting the swiveling head to the beam; 8, stirrups carried by the swiveling head, one at its forward end and one at its rearward end; 9, horizontally-disposed shanks clamped to the swiveling heads by means of the stirrups, one of these shanks projecting to the right and the other to the left of the beam; 10, clownwardly-projecting shanks at the outer ends of the shanks 9 for carrying the cultivator-tools;

11, an arm projecting outwardly to one side of the swiveling head at its center of length, and 12 the parallel-motion rod, having its rear end vertically pivoted in the outer extremity of arm 11 and having its forward end pivoted in the axle 2.

As the beamis swung to the right or to the left the rod 12, acting on the swiveling head in an obvious manner, maintains the cultivator-tools with their faces directly forward, and the strain of draft upon the tools is always imposed in a direct fore-and-aft line cutting the pivot 7 The shanks 9 may be readily adjusted in the stirrups to alter the lateral distance between the two cultivating-tools.

I claim as my invention In a cultivator, the combination, substantially as set forth, of an axle, a beam having its forward end pivoted thereto, a swiveling head parallel with the beam, a vertical pivot uniting the beam with the swiveling head, stirrups carried by the swiveling head to the front and rear of its pivot, outwardly-projecting shanks adjustably held to the swiveling head by the stirrups, an arm projecting sidewise from the swiveling head opposite its pivot, and a rod having its rear end vertically JOHN M. W. LONG.
